1 Work in Progress workshop at PerCom 2 Measuring Social Functions of City Regions from Large-scale Taxi Behaviors Guande Qi, Xiaolong Li, Shijian Li, Gang Pan and Zonghui Wang Department of Computer Science Zhejiang University, Hangzhou, China Corresponding author: Shijian Li shijianli@zju.eud.cn Daqing Zhang Institut Telecome SudParis, France daqing.zhang@it-sudparis.eu Abstract City-scale human mobility analysis is an important problem in pervasive computing. In this paper, with qualitative and quantitative analysis, we establish and confirm the relationship between the get-on/off characteristics of taxi passengers and the social function of city regions. We find that get-on/off amount in a region can depict the social activity dynamics in that area, i.e. the temporal variation of get-on/off amount can characterize the social function of a region. The experimental results on a large-scale real-world taxi dataset suggest that three typical regional categories can be recognized even using a very simple classification method. Index Terms urban computing, city dynamics, taxi data analysis, social behavior pattern; I. INTRODUCTION The analysis on mass and widespread human activities draws attention of more and more researchers. Taxi trace data (GPS data) can reflect urban traffic activity and thus is widely used in traffic analysis. We observe that taxi data convey lots of information about human traces which provide the following activities: Traffic requirement: Get-on/off amount is relative to the traffic requiremen and time-variant activity pattern of a region. Regions social function: Temporal variation of get-on/off amount in a region characterizes the social function of the region. City dynamic: Get-on/off amount variation of regions describes the city s social activity dynamics. The correlation between taxi trace data and social activity dynamics has many promising applications: () It can help governments to learn city dynamics and make the city planning more reasonable. (2) It can assist taxi drivers to learn driving strategies to find passengers in an optimal way. (3) It can help passengers to find out where they should wait for a taxi, and how long they will probably take on waiting. Motivated by these potential applications, this paper attempts to analyze get-on/off amounts using a city-scale realworld taxi GPS data set, and to establish the relationship between taxi GPS data and regions social functions. The contributions are in two-fold: () In a city-scale, we show that the get-on/off amount could depict social activity intensity of a city. (2) After qualitative analysis, we find an approach to recognize regions social function with temporal variation patterns of get-on/off amount. As far as we know, our work is the first time to measure social functions of regions using taxi GPS data. II. RELATED WORKS User trace data (e.g. GSM trace and Wi-Fi data) and traffic trace data are two main kinds of trace data used for social mobile analysis. GSM data in phones can be used for localization, thus, it can be used to analyze crowd activity and human activity pattern[], [2]. Wi-Fi network activity data could be used to analyze indoor human activity, Calabrease et.al. [3] use MIT Wi-Fi data to cluster the buildings in MIT campus and analyze activity strength in buildings. Taxi and shared bicycle data are important traffic trace data for social analysis. Previous research mainly tried to use the data only for traffic analysis. Many researches before developed a statistical physics approach to build a mathematical model using differential equations [4], [5]. Popular models include fluid-dynamical theories, kinetic theories, car-following theories, coupled-map lattice models, Nagel- Schreckberg cellular automata model and extensions of the NaSch model; Chowdury et.al. [6] gave a review of these models. Recently, traffic data is considered in social activity studies. Ge et.al. [7] studied taxi drivers pick-up behavior using graph theory view and recommend the statistical best route for taxi drivers. Shared bicycle is also an important traffic service in some cities; people can cluster stations according to the variation of the amount of left bicycles. Such variation is also predictable by probability graphical model according to Froehlich et.al. [8] Kaltenbrunner [9] did a similar work but use an ARMA (Auto-Regressive and Moving Average) model for prediction. III. TAXI GPS DATASET AND PREPROCESSING A. Dataset Description The taxi dataset used in this paper comes from the Hangzhou City Traffic Bureau, which were generated by GPS devices on taxis during the period of nearly a year (from April st, 29 to April 2th, 2). At this period, the number of taxis installed GPS device increases from 4597 to 7475, while the total number of taxis in the city keeps almost unchanged. The dataset has about 3 billion records; most of them were //$26. 2 IEEE 384
2 sampled at a frequency of about minute. Each record consists of the following information: TAXI ID: the unique ID of each taxi; TIME: the sampling time, with the timestamp format of YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS ; GPS POSITION: the longitude and the latitude at the sampling time; SPEED: the taxi speed in km/h at the sampling moment; TAXI ORIENTATION: the direction the taxi facing to, from to 36 in clockwise with zero for the north; GPS STATE: it sets to one when GPS data is wrong, and sets to zero otherwise. In our experiment, all the records with wrong GPS data are filtered. METER STATE: indicates whether the taximeter is running, i.e. whether there is a passenger on the taxi or not. B. Data Cleaning and Preprocessing Get-on/off amount information is important in taxi traces data because it can depict human mobility characteristics in a region. This subsection shows how we get get-on/off amount of a defined region from mass of taxi traces. Sampling: We randomly sample 4 taxis for analysis since the number of taxis that install GPS device does not keep constant in the observed year. City Map Partition: This paper chooses the map area of [3.5, 3.4] for the north latitude and [9.9, 2.4] for the east longitude, since the Hangzhou city mainly locates within this area. We divide the chosen area into 25 5 regions with square for each region. The region size of meters is determined because larger areas may have multiple social functions while smaller areas may be nonsense considering that the precision of GPS data is usually tens of meters.. Get-On/Off Counting: Transition of the meter state reflects that passengers are getting on or off. We eliminate state transition noises by setting a time threshold for state transition from to. Then we extract the get-on/off amount from data, by simply counting the number of transitions occurred in a defined area. IV. EMPIRICAL STUDY OF URBAN SOCIAL DYNAMICS Get-on/off amounts temporal variation contains rich information regarding to urban and regional social dynamics. We find that daily get-on/off amount in the city varies according to citizens daily social activity intensity. Total amount of geton/offs in different days can highlight important social activity in some uncommon days. Moreover, regions with different social function show very different pattern of get-on/offs. A. City-wide Dynamics Analysis For the city-wide statistics, the total get-on/off amount variation over days can reflect social meaning of some uncommon days such as holiday and school-open days. The total get-on/off amount in different days can highlight uncommon days that have important social activities (Fig. ). At the peak in August 29, schools open and students come get on number ( 5 ) School Opens National Day Spring Festival 29 2 Figure. Illustration of city-wide dynamics: total get-on/off amount variation over different days. back to or freshman enters the school. During the Spring Festival, people may stay at home and seldom travel around by taxi. And, the decrease in the National Day is caused by traffic jam, since too many people may go outside during that day. B. Regional Social Functions Analysis Besides the city-wide analysis, statistics of region-wide in a city may also exhibit patterns of human activity in the area. By qualitatively analyzing get-on/off amount in several time periods in a day, we observe that regions with different social function have their distinctive temporal variation patterns. This paper preliminarily considers three typical categories of regions: () coach/train stations; (2)entertainment districts; (3) scenic spots. Fig. 2 illustrates: Train stations: Train stations are very hot in almost all the time over the whole day. Scenic spots: Tourists often go to scenic spots only during the daytime. Entertainment districts: People usually go for entertainment mainly at night; few people will go there at dawn and seldom any passengers travel there in the morning. The analysis above confirms relationship between regional taxi get-on/off amount and social activity in a region. The features of three types of regions we got by qualitative analysis conform to common sense. They show that taxi passengers are a kind of representative samples from citizens, and taxi get-on/off amount depicts human activity strength in a region. Besides, these examples show very different features of geton/off amount temporal variation for different types of regions, and hence the feasibility of recognizing social function of regions using temporal variation of get-on/off amount. V. SOCIAL FUNCTION RECOGNITION FOR REGIONS Section IV confirms qualitatively the relationship between regional get-on/off amount and human activity intensity. In this section, we analyze quantitatively the relationship between get-on/off amount and regions social function. With a simple classification method, we recognize precisely regions 385

Each row is for one region category: train station, scenic spot and entertainment districts (from top to bottom). social function and find corresponding get-on/off amount timedomain patterns. A. Data Labeling For data preparation, we find three taxi drivers to label typical regions of each category with pure social function. We finally get 76 regions with pure social function in total and use them for further analysis. The labeled regions include 37 regions near train/coach station, 27 entertainment districts, and 2 scenic spots. B. Recognition of Social Function Two types of features are considered: coarse-grained feature and fine-grained feature.givenn days data, the coarse-grained feature is a n-dimension vector with daily total amount of geton/off as element. The fine-grained feature is a 4n-dimension vector with four get-on/off numbers for four time periods in each day: (a) 6:3 a.m. to 8:3 a.m.; (b) 9: a.m. to 3: p.m.; (c) 7: p.m. to 9: p.m.; (d) : p.m. to : a.m. These four time periods are extracted according to the largest variance of amount. The recognition process is as follows: Feature Vector: The feature vectors are defined as x i d and x i u which represent the amount of get-on or get-off in the ith region D i with elements x i u (j) and xi d (j) (j =, 2, ). Normalization: Normalization is to centralize the feature vector. x i u (j) = xi u (j) j xi u (j)/n, and xi d (j) = x i d (j) j xi d (j)/n. Similarity definition: We define similarity s i,j between each two regions D i and D j : s i,j = max(cos(x i u,xj u ), cos(xi d,xj d )), wherecos(xi,x j ) is the cosine similarity of the two normalized vectors: x i and x j. Agglomerative clustering[]: Agglomerate samples with enough large similarity (similarity threshold) into the same cluster. Some samples may be not much similar (similarity below the threshold) to the clusters and thus (a) 2 Spring Festival Before National Day National Day (b) Before Spring Festival (c) Figure 3.

Recognition: Test samples are clustered together with training samples as above. Label the test sample according to voting by the number of training sample in the same cluster. C.

Scenic spots. They show very different pattern between holidays and weekdays, they have much more passengers in holiday than weekdays (Fig. 3a). Train/coach station. Get-on/off amount of stations highlights some uncommon time points instead of difference between workdays and weekdays (Fig. 3b). Entertainment districts. They are similar to scenic spots but the variance between the peaks and the troughs is small (Fig. 3c). We also reduce the dimension of feature vectors by the principal component analysis and visualize the regions in the 3D-Eigenspace. In Fig. 4, samples with different region categories scatter apart from each other. 2) Recognition result and analysis: The recognition result is listed in Table I. Our method can recognize social function of the regions precisely. Moreover, there are some interesting conclusions we can get from this result: The tow types of features can be recognized more precisely with more data added. The recognition accuracy using coarse-grained feature grows quickly 5, while the accuracy using fine-grained feature changes slowly. For short time-span data (one week and one month), finegrained feature vector can be recognized more precisely since it considers different time periods during a day. For long time-span data (one year), coarse-grained feature vector has higher recognition accuracy. The coarse-grained feature vector extracted from one year data can be best recognized. The average recognition accuracy using this feature is 94.44%. The results show that regions social function can be recognized correctly and these regions have clear temporal patterns. To sum up, by recognition, we reveal that, from a quantitative view, social function and regional get-on/off amount are indeed tightly related. VI. CONCLUSION AND FUTURE WORK This paper investigates the relationship between regional get-on/off amount and regions social function. Firstly, from a city scale, the get-on/off amount variation in a day or among different days conforms to social activity intensity of citizens. Secondly, from a qualitative view, regional get-on/off amount daily variations are very different in regions with different social functions. Based on the investigation, we develop a simple method to recognize regions social function. The preliminary results on a large-scale real-world taxi GPS data set show that our approach achieves recognition accuracy of 94.44%. There is still much further work to do in the work-inprogress. Firstly, our regions are rigid squares which may not represent a intact region in the city. Thus, we are going to develop new methods to get more natural regions. Secondly, we consider only three types of regions. More social function classes should be added and more regions should also be considered. Finally, we consider regions with pure social function in this paper while regions are more complicate in reality.
